The kitchen is one of the few rooms in the house where it is necessary to combine several factors at once: convenience, unity of style and ergonomics. In typical apartments, kitchens are usually small, and they have to accommodate furniture, utensils, and household appliances.
To make it easier and more convenient for the hostess to work, she should have a lot of various kitchen utensils, various electronic devices and devices.

Manufacturers of furniture fittings are constantly developing various devices to make life easier for housewives and save them time. Pull-out systems in kitchen furniture will make your stay in the kitchen much more comfortable and convenient. It will be possible once to lay out everything you need in drawers and enjoy the order.

Recent developments of pull-out systems for the kitchen ensure that literally every centimeter of usable space is used.
Systems allow you to fit in kitchen furniture maximum amount things, without increasing the external area of \u200b\u200bthe cabinets. The kitchen is not cluttered and you can move freely around it. It's just an ingenious way to save space.
Most often, pull-out systems are built into floor or hanging cabinets. This is very convenient: you open the door of an ordinary cabinet, as if, and from there several multi-level drawers or baskets appear.
These containers come out of the cabinet completely, so no sleight of hand is required to get one or another item. Yes, they can be filled evenly. Drawers do not fall out thanks to special fasteners, which are designed for any weight and securely hold all the contents.
Drawers
Drawers can be made in any size, depth and width. They can be equipped with special partitions or internal sections for storing small items and cutlery.
Often there are such designs in which opening the door causes all drawers at different levels to roll out at once. This model allows you to consider the contents of all containers at once.
It is necessary to arrange such lockers according to the purpose. Next to the stove, it is recommended to place volumetric sections for large dishes: pots, pans, cutting boards, baking sheets.
Directly under the countertop, let there be multi-level small sections for storing forks, spoons, knives and other small accessories.
Corner kitchen drawers
Most often used in corner boxes rotary mechanisms: unfolding shelves, rolling out trays and shelves that come out one after the other ("train").
Such systems allow you to use the corner space most rationally, especially if the kitchen is small.
It is most convenient to store large pots and baking sheets in such deep trays.
Cargo boxes
This is a prototype of a drawer, only very narrow and high, its width does not exceed 20 cm. It is intended to accommodate various tall jars and bottles.
Since the cargo is a very compact drawer, it can be placed both next to the wall cabinet and in the opening between the stove and large cabinets.
With the help of such a locker, the problem of filling the remaining small space. This is a very functional and practical invention.
Pull-out baskets for kitchen furniture
Pull-out baskets look very nice and cozy. They are usually made from natural vines, which immediately brings Provencal notes to the kitchen. Except charming appearance, such baskets have one more advantage - they are very convenient and functional.
The guides are attached in such a way as to allow the basket to slide out completely. Different sizes baskets allow you to use them in absolutely any cabinets and for different purposes.
Housewives prefer to store products in baskets that need constant ventilation: vegetables, bread, fruits.
Original drawer systems
In addition to capacious containers for storing large and small items, it would be useful to arrange different ones in the kitchen to facilitate and speed up the cooking process, as well as cleaning. Consider the most popular ideas for ergonomic use kitchen space.
Retractable cutting boards
The cutting board is most appropriate to place under the countertop, so it will be optimal in height and will not interfere with the opening of other cabinets.
If necessary, the board leaves its niche, and after work it is gently removed back. In the most original interpretations, all kinds of additional containers are attached to the cutting surface to collect crumbs and other small waste.
Advice. If the countertop is long enough, then it is better to mount several boards from different materials for different kind products.
Furniture fittings are presented today in large assortment, which gives you a choice. Not so long ago, the facade of the furniture was the same, and she herself looked like a swing drawer. Now the process of nomination has become simplified with the help of guides.
One of the elements of convenience in modern furniture is a retractable fitting.
The role of pull-out systems is quite important, since they allow the maximum extension of the drawer. Thus, extracting its contents is not difficult.
They are used in any type of furniture where retractable structures and modules are present.
The action of drawer guides is due to the movement of specially made metal guides using balls or rollers.
Ball guides, like roller guides, consist of two parts. One of them is attached to the box, the other to the side wall.
Depending on the type of movement, they are divided into two types: roller guides and ball guides.
Roller guides.
Ball guides.
Ball guides
Ball systems allow you to fully extend the drawer and can withstand a lot of weight. Some designs can withstand about 60 kilograms. You can install ball guides in any plane.
There are many varieties of ball guides, they differ mainly in height, as well as in the degree of extension and the presence of a closer.
Compared to roller guides, ball guides have their advantages:
- AT Possibility of system regulation in 2 directions;
- B quiet drawer movement;
- D duration of operation;
- O the existence of work with a heavy load;
- AT possibility of full extension.
Today, furniture is more often equipped with roller and ball guides.
Despite all positive sides, such guides are more expensive than roller ones. But if it becomes necessary to install guides in structures where heavy objects will be stored, then ball systems should be preferred.
Ball guides have many different modifications, with various designs, dimensions, methods of fastening, degree of extension.
Roller guides
The extension of the drawer in this type of guides is only possible incomplete, but their cost is several times lower than ball ones. Roller guides create noise when the drawer is opened; rubber-coated rollers should be used to eliminate this effect.
Roller guides withstand dynamic loads up to 25 kg.
The load that the roller guides can withstand is 25 kg. When choosing roller guides, it is important to consider their thickness: in order for them to serve for a long time, it should be from 1.2 mm.
Roller guides are partial extension guides.
Varieties of guides: metaboxes and tandemboxes
Based on the two previous types of guides, more advanced boxes are produced.
These guide systems appeared relatively recently.
Selection of guides
To select a rail system that will serve long time First of all, you need to pay attention to the thickness of the metal. Especially if it's roller guides.
Roller guides are the easiest guides in terms of device and installation.
This parameter determines how much and how the fittings will work. The ideal thickness is 1-1.2 mm. Deciding to buy a smaller option, guarantees that drawers serve a long period, No.
Coated roller guides durable epoxy enamel.
The choice of fittings also consists in a preliminary inspection of the product: it is important that the guides are even, without defects.
Be sure to check the rollers or balls, they must function well.
Installation of roller guides for drawers
- Installation should begin by attaching two rails to the bottom of the drawer. The video is at this time rear wall drawer, the second end of the bar should rest against the facade.
Boxes on which guides will be installed.
Fastening the guide to the side surface of the box.
- The bar is attached to the bottom of the box with self-tapping screws, it should not be attached to the sidewalls, because the second roller is moving along the side. You should pay attention to the caps of the screws. They should be below the surface of the bar so as not to interfere with the movement of the box.
Drawer with installed rails.
Marking guides on the walls of the facade.
- It is necessary to attach the second pair of guides to the furniture body by making preliminary marks with a pencil. When the place for the guide is marked, it is applied to the mark and fixed using self-tapping screws.
This manipulation is repeated for all three pairs of guides.
Assembly of the box with installed guides.
We install the boxes themselves inside the box and get a finished piece of furniture.

Drawers with various mechanisms - 50 photo ideas:
The online store "Kessebohmer" offers to improve the space with the help of pull-out systems for the kitchen. Everything you need will be at your fingertips at any time. The structures are endowed with depreciation systems. Pulling drawers out is easy and smooth.
Mechanismsfor lower cabinets. Often access to full content bottom cabinets difficult. In this case the best option retractable systems will be installed. They allow rational use of all space. At the same time, you do not have to reach for dishes in the corner of the cabinet - with a slight movement of your hand, all the contents of the lower cabinet will move out. With the help of universal mechanisms for the kitchen Frontal, Comfort, Junior dispenser, etc., you can use every centimeter of space wisely. Roll-out systems for the lower pedestals have different widths. Narrow niches can be filled with kitchen bottle holders. Thus, oils, spices and sauces will be hidden behind the facade and available at any time.
Mechanismsfor lower corner cabinets. Recently, there has been great popularity corner kitchens. They are compact and create a single workspace. German manufacturer KESSEBÖHMER has developed pull-out mechanisms for the kitchen to make the most of the interior space. One of the interesting solutions for the equipment of corner pedestals is the LeMans mechanism. With its help, the shelf extends completely - it has become much easier to get something from the very corner. Sturdy shelves are able to hold loads up to 25 kg each. The Revo 90o rotates the shelves so all contents are easily accessible. The "Magic Corner" system will allow you to place a large amount of dishes in one cabinet.
Mechanismsfor upper cabinets. The use of upper cabinets in the kitchen, according to many, threatens with injury, which can be obtained by forgetting about the open door. But this will not happen if you install KESSEBÖHMER systems such as Freeflap, Freeslide, Duo, Verso, Strato, Senso lifts, etc. So all the contents wall cabinets will be easy to see. Lifting elements will make the kitchen particularly comfortable and safe.
Roller guides the simplest guides in terms of device and installation. The average price is 50-100 rubles. for a couple. Roller guides look like in the photo below, for sure you have seen them, and more than once.
Roller guides are covered with durable epoxy enamel, guides of different colors are found on sale, the most common guides are cream colors. You can find roller guides for drawers with a depth of 250 to 800 mm, that is, for almost all cases.
Roller guides withstand a dynamic load of up to 25 kg, you are unlikely to store something heavier in a chest of drawers or in a drawer in a closet. The disadvantages of roller guides are the noise with which they are extended and closed, the extension is partial. But low price eliminates these shortcomings.
According to the installation scheme, the gap between the outer part of the side wall of the box and the side of the product body should be 12.5 mm or 25 mm on two sides, usually 26 mm is taken in calculations. This means that the dimensions of the box in width should be less inner space cabinets for 25-26 mm.
Ball guides
Ball guides, or even as they are called telescopic guides, are able to withstand heavy loads, have a smooth ride. The cost of guides is 300-400 rubles. for a couple. There are options with and without closers.
Ball guides, like roller guides, consist of two parts. One of them is attached to the box, the other to the side wall.
In order to separate them, you need to press the latch, as shown in the photo.
You can, of course, install without disconnecting, but this torment is something else, I had a chance to try it on my own experience. As a result, a negative idea can be formed about ball guides, about the complexity of their installation. In fact, everything is simple.
Installation of ball guides by elements is produced on side walls cabinets and drawer sides.
The most commonly used ball guides are 45 mm high, the size range of guides is from 250 to 700 mm, they can withstand loads up to 36 kg, which is more than.
Calculation of the box on ball guides similar to the calculation of roller guides, the dimensions of the box in width are defined as the size of the internal space minus 26 mm (12.7 mm + 12.7 mm).
Metaboxes
Metaboxes– pull-out system based on roller guides. The material of the metaboxes is 1.2 mm thick steel covered with high-strength enamel. Price 300-400 rubles. for a pair, produced by "Blum" in the region of 600-700 rubles.
Tandems
Hidden tandem slide technology ensures smooth running even for heavily loaded drawers. The drawer can be easily removed from the rails without tools.
Tandem- it is a smooth ride and full or partial extension. Drawers can be either with built-in closer or without. The tandem can be equipped with Tip-on (front push opening system). The cost of guides is 1000 -1500 rubles. for a couple.
On the drawer guides Tandem can make a box under the sink. Since the sink has a convex part, which is located inside the body, the standard, that is, the direct design of the drawer, is not suitable here. The convex part or the bottom of the sink will not allow the drawer to close. In this case, the bottom of the box is made with a cutout, the walls of the box made of chipboard are attached along the cutout. The whole structure is mounted on Tandem guides.
Application tandem rails involves the use of chipboard 16 mm thick, although solutions with using chipboard 18 mm thick.
The most expensive segment of the drawer guide market. The sides of the box (sides) are made of thin-walled steel, unlike tandems, where the body of the box is made of chipboard.
The kit includes fasteners to the facade and fasteners for the rear wall of the drawer. The detailing includes a bottom and back wall made of chipboard, like a metabox. Guides are similar to tandems, have soft closing, with closers.
Tandemboxes can be equipped with an opening system that does not require the installation of a handle on the front, it is quite easy to press the front with your hand.
Tandemboxes various heights and the variety of the assortment significantly exceeds metaboxes. Let's look at an example Blum tandem boxes.
Height N, drawer side height 68 mm, smallest drawer
 |
|---|
Height M, drawer side height 83 mm
Height C, drawer side height 115 mm
Is used for high facades, the back wall is enlarged, a railing is also added. The minimum height of the internal space for the drawer is 191 mm.
Height also D, drawer side height 83 mm
It is used for high facades, the back wall is also enlarged, but instead of two railings, the railing with Boxside is an overlay on the drawer side. The minimum height of the internal space for the drawer is 224 mm. The solution is mainly for kitchen drawers, not wardrobes.
Two triple tubular holders and railing tubes make it possible to make a special drawer on tandembox rails into a sink cabinet. Thanks to the cutout in the bottom, the drawer allows you to bypass the sink protruding inside the cabinet body.
One more interesting solution from Blum is the use of tandembox guides for corner pedestals, which is called space corner.
The set of fittings includes a number of specific elements that are not found in other guides, and this fitting, frankly speaking, is not cheap. Space corner allows you to effectively use the corner space in the kitchen, and the use of ORGA line dividers additionally structures the storage space.
at first boxes were positioned as elite products that were inaccessible to a mere mortal furniture maker. The point here was not at all the price, but the price, by the way, was the highest in comparison with other extension systems, but the complexity and accuracy of manufacturing the remaining parts from chipboard, the accuracy of milling the bottom of the box, the accuracy of drilling the side walls of the case and facades. Therefore, Legrabox boxes were offered to furniture companies that produce high-end furniture.
Installation, calculation and installation of guides for boxes
It is not enough to know what drawer guides are, but the question arises, how to calculate and install guides.
The Internet provides a large number of methods and approaches in the calculation and installation of guides. I use a simple, user-friendly program from Blum called DYNALOG, for design we use the DYNAPLAN module.
The program allows calculate both roller guides and metaboxes, Tandemboxes and tandems. At the output, we will receive a list of parts with dimensions, necessary fittings, drilling drawings for the side wall and facades. Special furniture programs are expensive, it makes no sense to master them, and even more so to buy if you want to make products for the home yourself.
As an example of a basic product, I will give a cabinet 616 mm high, 600 mm wide, 500 mm deep with false facades 200 mm high, drawers made of Chipboard high 150 mm, gaps between facades 4 mm.
If we want to calculate installation of drawers in wardrobe, then please note that with a cabinet depth of 600 mm and internal partition 500 mm, we calculate for inset facades, the facades will be inside between the side wall and the partition, as well as between the horizontal walls. Side gaps are best done by 4 mm in the variant of inset facades.
How to make even small kitchen would it be comfortable and fit everything, well, or almost everything, modern accessories, utensils and appliances, while not being cluttered yet? There is only one answer - you need to take a new approach to organizing the kitchen space. To do this, it is necessary to optimize what is already available and use the most remote corners and hard-to-reach places. Especially for this, furniture industry engineers developed sliding systems for the kitchen. Such mechanisms sometimes have very bizarre designs, but thanks to them, the kitchen not only becomes ergonomic and comfortable, but it is also much easier to maintain order in it.
We will talk about such sliding mechanisms for the kitchen in this article.

Items will now have nowhere to "fall" - they will be in plain sight and lie neatly!
Kitchen drawer systems
The new fittings that the drawers are equipped with are ball guides. In our country there are retractable mechanisms Blum, manufactures them German company. The ball guide has a complex mechanism, but thanks to it, the drawer leaves completely silently, and it is a pleasure to close it, because its motion is very smooth, and all thanks to special closers. Even if such a box is closed on a grand scale, the closers will not let it hit and it will close silently.
A kitchen drawer with such a mechanism is securely fixed, even with great effort it cannot be removed until you press the special buttons located under it. The possibility of the drawer slipping off the guide even after many years of operation is excluded.

Drawers for kitchens can also have an atypical shape, the reason is that designers, when developing a headset project, at the request of the customer often place them in a corner, and on two planes at once, which explains them unusual shape. Such original solution allows you to quite effectively use the corner of the kitchen.

For small kitchen utensils, there is a special divider system that is inserted into the drawer or already built into it. Therefore, each of them now has its own clear place, this solution allows you to keep the internal contents of the drawers in order, and the entire kitchen as a whole.
Retractable kitchen drawers
In addition to ordinary and corner drawers, there are also very original and one might even say “cunning drawer” designs. If you look at a closed cabinet with such drawers, it seems that there are one or two of them, but large ones. But when you open it, it turns out that there is one or two smaller ones inside. In such cases, the facade is attached to the largest drawer located below, and the rest are located above and have special handles instead of facades. This is quite an interesting solution, which can be very convenient for storing sets of pots and pans. An alternative can also be cabinets with a hinged sash, opening it, instead of shelves, we find a whole block of drawers there.
